KSP Machinima idea! (YAY!!)

[pjlx911]

Ok, after thinking about this, I have decided to go ahead and see about possibly doing a Machinima about KSP! Here is the info that I've came up with:

KSP: The rise of Dark Jeb...

"I have been gone from home for too long. For some reason, this rubber duckie seems to be telling me to take over the galaxy." - Jebodiah Kerman

Plot premise: A Machinima involving Kerbal Space Program in which Jeb Kerman had went totally insane after spending too much time out in charge of a Main Space Carrier orbiting around Jool. Because of this (and the inability of Kerbin's "Scientists" to figure out that he is going crazy) Jeb not only went mad, but also managed to coerce other not so intelligent Kerbins to build an armada that is threatening not just the KSP, but even Kerbal itself (with the treat free playboys and Kerbitches for all)! This leads the only people to try to stop him, the idiotic Bob Kerman, and the even more moronic Bill Kerman. With their group of equally "clever" scientists, will they finally be able to defeat the new scourge of space?

Genre: This will be a comedic parody of a science fiction TV show/movie. Much in the same vein as SpaceBalls, it will involve various forms of stupidity, potty humor, and other forms of idiocy. The idea will be to have Machinima mixed in with comic strip drawings to help tell this story in a episodic type of narrative.

Misc: Due to the fact that most of the space sci-fi carriers/stations are too heavy to fly, there will be no gravity for the carriers/stations for take-off, and will only have gravity effects on once the space stations/carriers are placed around the orbits of their particular planet/moon bodies. Also, do to this, all cheats will be on (fuel, RCS, EVA) for the Machinima portions. The B9 mod will be in effect, and possibly MechJeb (if it would work correctly with .21). And there will be no Kerbin mini pictures at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Now...I will do the comic strip portion. But, I was thinking of doing something like the Hiimdasiy MGS comic shows, with the game play video recordings in between them. I'm thinking of doing a QUICK, 5-7 min YT short for this. If anyone's interested, they could PM me (or write in this forum), but I would like to have help with:

- Voice acting. I am going for everyone sounding like either Kermit the Frog, or Ernie. And it would be better to get the point across if I had some people (or one good VA) read off the comic strip. Also, I would like to have someone who could do the voice of a scientist (like Bulma's dad from DBZ). And possibly someone who could pull off a good President Bush, or Bill Clinton (for a part in a future episode).

- Station/Carrier builder. This is important! Without the ships around the said orbits of the various places it would sort of shoot the whole idea down. But if someone would be generous enough to create the ships (or wants to do the game play recording) I would appreciate it (and give you credits/links in the info). If someone wouldn't mind doing the recordings, it would be helpful as well (as for some odd reason, my computer is lagging while playing this game with the B9 and MechJeb mods).

I'll more than likely will also knock out the post-editing (unless someone wouldn't mind taking care of that for me (as I'm using Windows Movie Maker atm)).

But what do you guys think? Like I said, if there is any interest in taking part, feel free to write on this board message, or PM me.

Nice idea, can you add some space mecha in the style of mobile suits?

Obviously, they will do nothing but get shot down.

All good stories start with a storyboard. The temptation is to skip it but if you do you shall fail young grasshopper.

I know this. I was just putting out a feeler to see if anyone is willing to help first (as without any help, this idea can't really get off the ground).

That...Might actually be a funny idea for a episode...Sure! Why not?

[DJEN]

Also, are you going to do the machinima yourself, or is this just an idea?

And also, can we post our own ideas?

[Scorpi15]

Hmm, looks interesting. Might submit a design for a awesome-but-stoopid mech or something like that

The idea is not to. It would take a LOT of work for me to pull this off by myself. Hence the reason why I'm asking if anyone wants to join in and take part. I will be providing the comic art and the post-edit work, but I definitely need help in the other parts of this.

By ideas, do you mean helping out with the writing of a show? Or pitching ideas for a show? Or are we talking character ideas? If you want, we could PM talk, or skype? My skype is: pjlx911 (I probably won't be back home until 3pm EST, but you could shoot me a line and I'll read it when I get on). Having two heads are better than one (including when it comes to comedy writing).

I have already came up with some concept artwork for Jeb, will probably show some of it when I get back later today. I'll see you guys then!

[pjlx911]

Ok, and here's some of my concept drawings/comics for some characters involved atm.

Mind you that this will change as time goes on (as I will get characters profiles worked out depending on if I could get any help with this idea). But just to show that I am serious about trying to get a Machinima done (and to show that I can, in fact, draw a comic strip for this show).

Hope you guys enjoy!

I want to see this, and I beg that you can get help, as I can't help you.
